Basements are the perfect environment for Mold & Mildew Growth
A fungi that is created in an environment with moisture, mold spores, and a food source. This criteria makes the basement the ideal growth place for mold and mildew.
How does it grow?
Mold spores grow by being in an environment with moisture and a food source.
Why is it dangerous?
Mold can cause structural damage to your home. Health problems like lung issues have been linked to mold and mildew.
Water Intrusion
Water vapor comes in through foundation walls, creating a more humid environment than the rest of the home.
Other moisture sources include: water heaters, cracks in foundation, sump pumps, plumbing leaks, and sewer backups.
Drywall absorbs moisture over time
Eventually that plaster is largely saturated with moisture and releases a “wet plaster” smell, aka musty odor.
The Basement Repair Specialists system is synthetic and allows moisture to pass right through it, therefore it does not absorb moisture and will never develop musty odors.
